Subject: Cassidy
This is my favorite Cassidy, the band is on in everyway and they come out of the solo/jam at just the right moment, at the Peak! leaving the listener satiated. A beauty show in a string of beauty shows.

Subject: Comes A Time
Nice version here. Maybe it's an upstate New York thing, but there is, I think, an even better version from a show at the War Memorial in Syracuse from Dick's Picks #20. Overall, this is a solid May '77 show, but I'm partial to the show in Boston on 5/7 (the 5/8 show in Ithaca being in a category unto itself).

Subject: Bertha's groove
Glad to see this show has its devotees. These are my fav Peggy-O and Bertha. My cassette conveys a masterfully slow groove...."Just like a swiss watch". The band sounds relaxed and happy. TMNS hops.

Subject: THE Comes A Time.
This is my fave version of this hauntingly beautiful but criminally underplayed song (IMO, GD could have played a LOT less of Black Peter/Ship O'Tools/Wharf Rat/etc.). Gives me the goose bumps each time I listen to it. While just about any version of Comes A Time is a-ok w/me, this one is just that much more emotional - Jerry's singing is so soulful and sweet, it makes for a sublime experience. The rest of the show ain't too shabby either...good ole Grateful Dead.

Out of the countless raging versions of T.M.N.S., this one takes the top. Jerry just burns through the WHOLE song and the end solo is and incredible group effort! I would love for someone to post me a better one! I think in 1977 they played it the same a lot and not too many versions stand out from the rest. This night's is WAY out above all the others! This show is apart of the "Holy Trinity" of the three best Dead shows ever recorded, 5/7-8-9/77. The band is just on fire these three nights and this version of Comes a Time instantly brought tears to my eyes! Ahhhh I love this band! Great sound and thanks to the Archive for all their work!

Comes a time and Peggy-o are my highlights. You won't be disappointed spending time listening to this show. Well played from start to finish. Enjoy it while its free, dicks will pick it soon, then its no longer dead head community property. We all have to make a living I guess. Enjoy, peace.

Subject: Get this in preference to the other one
Wonderful show of course! I would strongly advise listening to/downloading this one instead of the other one that's been dowloaded a lot more (approx 109 thousand times) because the other one has at least one glitch that shouldn't be there (Track 1, 3 minutes 41). Although this one here has had a lot of the crowd sound and tuning-up removed, it is a cleaner copy.

Subject: far better than cornell
This is a wonderful sparkling show, much better than Cornell, much more consistently 'on' and crackling with energy.

But I guess, once Cornell got talked about, it snowballed and no one wanted to be caught saying that they 'couldn't see the emporer's new clothes'. It's sad that Cornell has become the representative to the GD; a show that keeps non-initiates scratching their heads saying "[other than the 'morning dew'], this sounds really sloppy and uninspired".
